C08G 59/32

Epoxy compounds containing three or more epoxy groups

Introduced: July 1974

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Polycondensates containing more than one epoxy group per molecule; Macromolecules obtained by reaction of epoxy polycondensates with monofunctional low-molecular-weight compounds; Macromolecules obtained by polymerising compounds containing more than one epoxy group per molecule using curing agents or catalysts which react with the epoxy groups > Macromolecules obtained by polymerising compounds containing more than one epoxy group per molecule using curing agents or catalysts which react with the epoxy groups > characterised by the epoxy compounds used > Epoxy compounds containing three or more epoxy groups

CPC:

Polycondensates containing more than one epoxy group per molecule (low-molecular-weight polyepoxy compounds C07); Macromolecules obtained by polymerising compounds containing more than one epoxy group per molecule using curing agents or catalysts which react with the epoxy groups > Macromolecules obtained by polymerising compounds containing more than one epoxy group per molecule using curing agents or catalysts which react with the epoxy groups > characterised by the epoxy compounds used > Epoxy compounds containing three or more epoxy groups

CPC subdivides this area 3x more granularly than IPC with 5 additional codes.

5 codes are CPC-only extensions.

IPC defines codes here since 1974.
